Track: Thyroid

Session Overview

This session provides a comprehensive overview of thyroid gland function, common thyroid disorders, and clinical management approaches. It highlights recent advances in diagnostic techniques, including ultrasound and molecular testing, and discusses current treatment options to improve patient outcomes.

Key Topics

Thyroid Physiology and Hormone Regulation: The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolic rate, energy balance, and growth. Thyroid hormone levels are controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis through feedback mechanisms.

Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism: Hypothyroidism results from insufficient thyroid hormone production, leading to fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance. Hyperthyroidism involves excessive hormone production, causing weight loss, tremors, and heat intolerance.

Thyroiditis and Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders: Autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease cause chronic inflammation and dysfunction of the thyroid gland.

Thyroid Nodules and Cancer: Thyroid nodules are common, and while most are benign, some may be malignant. This topic covers evaluation, risk assessment, and management of thyroid cancer.

Thyroid Function and Metabolic Health: Thyroid dysfunction can affect metabolism, lipid profile, and glucose regulation, making it important to monitor thyroid health in patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Learning Objectives

Participants will gain an understanding of thyroid gland physiology and common thyroid disorders. The session aims to enhance knowledge of diagnostic approaches, including hormonal assays and imaging techniques. Attendees will learn evidence-based management strategies for thyroid disease. The session also emphasizes the importance of integrated care for thyroid and metabolic conditions, including diabetes.
